“Learn to love MAHA” vs. “how to make the CDC great again”?
MAHA apologist Dr. Joseph Marine recently wrote an article on how to make the CDC great again. Wait, what? Trump's been in office a year and a half, and the CDC isn't great?
MAHA vs. the FDA: Dredging up old anti-regulation revisionist history
Recently, I've noticed articles from outlets aligned with MAHA calling for the elimination of the FDA. It's all recycled "health freedom" revisionist history and ahistorical nonsense.

“Best practices”: The buzzword that the Trump administration will use to eliminate as many vaccines as RFK Jr. can
The CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices met last week, eliminating the universal recommendation for the birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is definitely coming for your vaccines, part 5: VAERS and a useful idiot at the FDA
